Man Wielding Knife Outside Jewish School in France Arrested
PARIS (AP) – Police in the French city of Marseille detained a man Friday who was wielding a knife outside a Jewish school and kosher market. Surveillance of Jewish sites in the city has been increased while they investigate his motives, according to local authorities. School security guards noticed the man visibly brandishing a knife outside the Yavre School and then trying to enter a kosher market nearby, where they detained him, a Marseille police spokeswoman told The Associated Press. The children were sequestered inside the school while police searched for any explosives or accomplices, she said. No one was hurt in the incident and the man’s motives remain unclear, she said. The spokeswoman was not authorized to be publicly named. France saw deadly attacks targeting a Jewish school in Toulouse in 2012 and a Paris kosher market in 2015.

Sure, Facebook has faced user revolts in the past — practically every major overhaul to the platform has been met with user backlash — but this time apparently, it's just too much. Facebook's most recent changes , the Timeline and the launch of the new Open Graph API, are the most radical yet.

People that I have friended over the years now have an easy way to access my earliest college-era posts, photos and interactions. That goes for you, too. Once the new Timeline is rolled … [Read more...] about No, You Aren’t Going to Quit Facebook
